So will Isaac obey Lord Pogi or will he follow Ayuso's footsteps? It's good to be loyal to the Godfather, who will be grateful and will allow the youngster to win even more 1.1 races next year.

Toro will have a go at those one-week stage races Almeida and Pogi won't race. Some spring classics and a GT.

As expected he will be there to launch Pogacar. This will be a GP Montreal with more 30 km.

Pogi will be so greatful and generous, that he would give him chances in an important races for him like Itzulia, Romandie and Suisse.

Unless Del Toro does a Mcnulty at Montreal, and it's only him and Pog at the end.

Jesus, I will jave nightmares if Pogacar gives the win to Del Toro

Il Lombardia is 41 km too long for Del Toro.

 

[CatchyH]

Delusional Del Toro fans already talking about how Pog should repay Del Toro's help last week by gifting him Lombardia. The most he'll get is Tre Valli Varesine if he hangs on.

 

[James M]

In honour of the EC tomorrow, which is about to be lobotomized. Hey, my name is Tadej Pogacar, and Im a defensive rider.

Pogacar will never give away a GT or Monument.
A situation like Kuss's is crazy and should never have happened.

By Del Toro fans, do you mean the Mexicans on social media?
Some were saying before the WC that he was as much of a favorite as Pogacar, or that if he wins one more race than him, it will be a better season. They're people who haven't watched cycling, and they count any victory the same as a Monument or a Tour de France stage.

As if Magnier wins five more stages in Guantxi and ties Pogacar for the number of victories. It's not the same, and many don't know most of the races except the Tour, and they're giving them the same importance. They see Lombardia as the race where they'll meet, and it has to be a given....
Patience. The Mexican fans are very enthusiastic. If Del Toro goes to the Tour next year, they'll say he has to go as co-leader.

By the way, Pogacar had won Montreal twice. Did he win Varesine? He shouldn't give it away.
Besides, Pogacar helped Del Toro try to win silver more than the other way around 😅.

They can say whatever they want, Pogacar will smoke everyone in the 2026 TdF (including Del Toro).

Pogacar is looking to make history in this Lombardy. He shouldn't give it to Del Toro, under any circumstances. Not even if it's his tenth. There are races that aren't for give: GT, Monuments, World Championships, and even minor races that have a certain prestige and haven't been won.

I hope Remco is good enough to stay with Del Toro. This will prevent any thought of monument gifts

In any case, there isn't a single race that Pogacar has won thanks to Del Toro, and Del Toro has won enough races to need a gift.
Pogacar was put to work in the Basque Country for McNulty after winning a Tour de France, and now it seems like everyone has to be given races to accept being subordinate to a better rider.

I would understand why Majka would be given a race like Varesine, or someone like Narvaez, who hasn't won that much and has sacrificed a lot. But I don't understand why so many people on social media are assuming he has to be given Varesine to Del Torp when Del Toro won Emilia today.

I still think Pogacar will not gift anything until the end of the season.

TVV to Del Toro 🙄

 

[Peyroteo94]

Pogacar is at 1.36 for tomorrow's race. 10 years ago, these odds were unimaginable.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Hopefully putting the likes of arrogant Skjelmose and delusional Ayuso in their place and winning the race convincly again. Don't think Jonas will be a factor, so once again the only rider I really fear will be Remco, and this course with plenty of flat roads suits him better than Kigali

But Kigali didn't have a long climb like they will have tomorrow, and 3 times.

 

[Cycling111]

Pogacar and Vingegaard are still on another level.

By the way, Vingegaard climbed San Luca in 2024 with Pogacar, but has been hysteria at the Tour because he caught Pogacar after similar climb. The difference is that this year Pogacar dropped him, last year in San Luca not 😅.

They were very slow today

Who even thinks about leaving wins on monuments? That’s just absurd. For Pogačar, Del Toro’s arrival comes at a perfect time,it means he doesn’t have to go to races that don’t really suit him at this stage of his career.
Del Toro will be a problem for Jonas and Ayuso in week-long races, for Remco in one-day races (like Amstel, San Sebastián, maybe even Flèche Wallonne and Strade Bianche), and on Grand Tours he can challenge Jonas again together with Almeida.

Almeida has an issue with Jonas because the latter is simply too explosive for him, but Del Toro doesn’t have that problem,if he can just stick to Jonas’s wheel, Almeida can rejoin.
And if they send Del Toro to the Tour with Pogačar, Tadej will have an even easier path to stage wins than if they give him Yates again like this year. So overall, Del Toro is an excellent option for Pogačar.
